Norwell off for concussion still. Can anyone inform me how the concussion subs work, can Norwell come back on tomorrow?
Miles is in for the rest of the game.
I'm not sure about Lawrence, though someone on commentary said that he was struggling just to walk today.
Another fantastic knock by Burgess.
Let's hope that Liam Norwell's concussion is not too bad - but having Craig Miles as a replacement is a fair deal.
That looks like a good day's work.
More information about these games. The Club remains coy about whether the team will be the Birmingham Bears or the Warwickshire Bears - though hopefully not the Russian Bears.

The Club preview says: "Dan Mousley is ruled out by a broken little finger (he is likely to be sidelined for around two weeks)."
He has had bad luck with injuries.
....could be on his way to Warwickshire:

I didn't know he was born in Birmingham. He would be a good acquisition, though he may spend most of his time with England.
My understanding re Nathan McAndrew is that he is likely to arrive in the UK over the weekend.
The situation in Ukraine has led to a large backlog of visa applications being processed, hence the delay.
It's difficult to know what the financial arrangement might be because both Carlos and the Bears want him to have game time before the Blast starts so it's to everyone's advantage for him to play for K & D.
Carlos hitting the headlines but not quite as he would have wished:

"Mr. Key, you were asked, like all the other candidates, what you thought of The Hundred.
Is it:
- the best competition in world cricket
- the finest preparation for England's Test cricketers
- the financial salvation for English cricket
- the best sponsorship deal in sport
Other candidates took it as a multi-choice question and ticked just one box but you ticked all four.
So when can you start?"
Thanks for this.
Ateeq Javid is on my list of "might have beens". I'm not sure why his move to Leicestershire didn't work out. He should have thrived there.
Well, this is all a little embarrassing!

Like Llanbranch, I share the worries and hope that I am wrong.
I'm not sure about the "large car park" that the Club supposedly has. Can someone send me a sketch map to show where it is.
At 94 minutes, he is 7th on the list for all first-class cricket.
Top of the list at 120 minutes is SB Joshi for Baroda v Bengal at Eden Gardens, Kolkata in 2005/06.
According to a table published by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians, Oliver Hannon-Dalby's innings against Surrey has broken the record for the longest time without scoring (minutes, not balls received) at the start of an innings in County cricket. He beats the 79 minutes of Jack Simmons for Lancashire against Yorkshire in 1969,
I think the answer is no. He may be fit on or just before the start of the T20 Blast.
Regarding the 10th wicket record stand against Surrey, just to confirm it was Bob Wyatt and Danny Mayer who added 126 together in 1927 at the Oval; but the circumstances were a bit different. Warwickshire were 355-9 when they came together; and number 11 Mayer was the dominant scorer, making 74 of the 126.
It must have been a pretty good pitch because, although Surrey were bowled out for 153 in their first innings, they knocked up a huge 427-3 in their second innings. Match drawn.
What really amazed me is that there were 408 overs bowled in the match, which was, of course a three day game. So there were more overs in three days than we now get in four. And it wasn't because there was more spin bowling. Of the 154 overs bowled in the match by Warwickshire, only 37 were spin.
As they say in the Hollies Stand, autres temps, autres mœurs
